Final day in the White Mountains. Kelly has been talking up this hike for quite some time and it delivered.
Following breakfast with the bugling elk, we packed up camp and headed to the East Baldy trailhead.
The hike up is mostly through forest with occasional long distance views. Nice trail. Not too steep. We went through a short stretch with quite a few blow downs, but nothing too difficult to get around.
The summit is exposed and was quite windy with great views. We ran into @PatrickL on the way there. Good to see you again!
Descending the West Baldy trail is steeper than the East. Once reaching the bottom the trail follows the very scenic Little Colorado River for a few miles.
Great hike. Would definitely do this one again.
Fun three days in the White Mountains. Thanks Bruce for organizing and driving. Thanks Kelly too.
